Its called the matrix, and people will work super hard if you give them a nice title for that external validation that is so juicy. One day they wake up 60 years old, with a house full of old stuff they rarely used, since they were so busy all the time with working.
Probably missed seeing their kids grow up, and maybe also grew disconnected with the partner they liked as a young person.
So yeah. Gather money and get the hell out of that.
